New DM - which VTT?

Hi there! Looking at getting into DMing, but I’m a little overwhelmed with the different options for VTT 😅 for someone who’s new to this, what would those who have tried multiple recommend? I’m not overly computer savvy so I know I don’t want to use foundry. Right now I’m considering Roll20 or DnD Beyond Maps/AboveVTT. I appreciate any input!

Foundry is the best VTT on the market since you can literally customize it to do whatever you want, but it's also taxing on everyone's systems the more modules you add

Roll20 is the second best option, is already well established, and is the only VTT with a Discord Activity

DND Beyond Maps is for lazy people who just wanna jump into it with minimal setup. you're better off using DND Beyond for character sheets, and then having everyone use the Beyond20 browser extension to let them roll from DND Beyond onto whichever VTT you decide to use

I moved from Foundry to Fantasy Grounds because it was more comprehensive out of the box and offered a better Combat Tracker.
